RICHARD DEIGHTON, OF SHAWNEE MOUND, MISSOURI.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 367,603, dated August 2, 1887.

Application filed April at, 1887.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RICHARD DEIGHTON, ot Shawnee Mound, in the county of Henry and State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Churn, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a churn which can be given either a rotary or a rocking motion to effect the separation of the butter, and which churn can be readily re moved from its frame to be cleaned and aired, and as readily secured in the frame when again required for use.

The invention consists in the construction of the variousparts and combinations of the same, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a churn constructed in accordance with my invention.,

Fig. 2 is a like elevation at right angles to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view, parts being broken away. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the rocking arm of the churn; and Fig. 5 isan enlarged view of a section of the clampband, showing the connection therewith of the packings or cushions.

The supporting-franie of the churn consists of the oppositely-inclined legs a a and b l), the opposite legs being hinged together near the top by hinges c and braced near the bottom by braces 61 d. The braces d d are formed troughshaped, their back pieces being nailed or otherwise fastened on the outside of the legs a a and b 1), respectively, and the portions (1 d of the said braces fitting between the said legs and extending across from one leg to the other, their ends bearing against the inner sides of said legs. The legs a a and b b are further braced by rods or bolts 6, (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3,) that pass from one leg a to the other, and from one leg Z to the other, beneath or within the trough-shaped braces d. On the ends of the bolts 6 are screwed the nuts f.

Above the hinges c the inclined legs are chamfered, so as to come close together at the upper ends when the lowerends are swung outward, and eyebolts or pins 9, passed through the said chamfered ends, firmly hold the frame Serial No. 236,186. (No model.)

band, the short j on rnals 71'2" being formed upon or secured to the clamp-band and having bearings in the upper ends of the legs of the supporting-frame above the hinges 0 thereof. The members of the framejj are suspended from the clamp-baud 'i by means of pinsj, that pass through the said clamp band and into or through apertures in the framej. Two sets of these apertures 7' are formed in the frame j, one above the other, for a purpose hereinafter to be specified. The members of the twopart clampband i are formed at their ends with or have secured to them corresponding lugs k 7.1,.int0 which take the screw-bolts ll, and the tightening of which bolts 1 causes the said clampband to firmly grasp the churn around the body, the bottom of the churn resting in the frame jj. The heads 1 and nuts l of the screw-bolts Zare each made rounded on their inner or bearingsurfaces.

The neck of the churn is formed with an" internal flange, h, on which is raised an annular bead, h", against which bead h bears a packing-ring,m, secured to the under side of the churn-cover n. The churn-cover n is fastened in place by a bar, 0, which is secured to said cover and projects outward at each side thereof. The threaded upper ends of rods 1) 1) pass upward through the bar 0, the lower hooked ends of said rods grasping the bolts Z of clampband ()n the said upper ends of the rods 19 1) are screwed wing-nuts q q, the screwing down of which presses the bar 0 downward and with it the cover a of the churn, causing the packing-ring m on the bottom of said cover to bear tightly on the bead h on the internal flange of the neck of the churn, which effeetir ally prevents leakage during the operation of churning.

On the inner side of the clamp-band t are secured at intervals pieces r, of rubber or leather, to form a cushion between the said clamp-band and the churn to prevent injury to the latter, and at,the same time affording the clamp-band a better grasp on the churn than it would otherwise have. These pieces 1 are riveted to the clamp-band i by rivets s, Fig. 5, the heads of which rivets are beveled on the under side so that the said rivets will embed themselves in the pieces of rubber or leather flush with the surface thereof.

hen it is desired to effect the churning by a rotary motion of the churn, the cranlchandle t is employed, it being formed to [it the squared projecting end of one of thejournals i of the clamp-band Should it be desired to effect the cluirning I in the lowered position, and with the rocking handle secured in place. An aperture,which is closed by a plug or cork, U, is formed in. the cover a of the churn for the purpose of venti lation and for taking observations during the operation of churning.

\Vith a churn and frame-work constructed as above described, when it is not required for use the churn may be removed from its frame and the latter taken apart and laid aside, occupying but little space, and. may be again erected with very little trouble. The churn, too, may be quickly removed from its frame for cleaning and airing.

If desired, the ordinary wooden churn may be substituted for the churn 7/. by placing a packing-ring beneath the cover.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to securehy Letters Patent, is-

1. The two-part clamp-band 2', having lugs 7.: and journals '7, and the suspended frame j j, in combination with the churn hand a support ing-frame in which the journals 1" have a bearing, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the churn 71/, of the two-part clamp-band vi, having lugs 7r and journals z", a supportingframe in which the said journals revolve, and the bolt 7 for clamping the lugs or cars 7;, substantially as described.

3. The two-part clamp-band 11, having lugs 7c, and the screwbolts 7, taking into said lugs, in combination with the churn h and its cover, the bar 0, rods p, connecting the bar 0 and the bolts 7 and nuts q, all arranged substantially as shown and described.

4. The two-part clamp-band 1?, having journals i and lugs It, in combination with the churn 71. and its cover, and the bolts Z and cushions '1', the said cushions being riveted to the said clamp-band by means of the rivets s, the heads of which rivets are beveled on their under sides, substantially as shown and described.

5. The twopart clamp-band '11, having joun nals i, the suspended frame j j, and mechanism for vertically adjusting the frame j j on said elampband, in combination with a supiorting-frame in which the journals t" have a bearing, substantially as shown and described.

6. The two-part clamp-band '5, formed with lugs 7.: and having short journals i, in combination with the boltsl for clamping the lugs 7.1, and a supportingframein which the said journals have a bearing, the rocking arm a, and the churn 71., substantially as shown and de scribed.
